Print, PDF & Email by PrintFriendly

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 81% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   Easy to implement, has nice CSS options for styling but the final page is messed up. I just wanted the image printed or pdfed, but it adds menu items to the print page. Also redirects you to printfriendly website with a lot of Ads spam from all directions. Started trial to see if it removes the adds and adds new capabilities. It doesn’t, ads are still there and are very annoying. Not suitable for corporate websites, even pro version has ads. There are options for print and pdf but they all go to the same page and you decide what to do once you arrive to that page. Didn’t like it.
